* warning.... this post contains waaaaaaayyyyyy TMI *
You've been warned.
OK... so ask any woman, whether she has been pregnant or not, what one of the great things about being pregnant is and she'll undoubtedly answer "no periods for 9 months!!!" Yes. It is such a nice thing to not have to deal with pads or poons and cramps and mood swings and... well, whatever it is that gets you down during "that time." Let me tell you though... Mother Nature has a sick sense of humor because she surely makes up for it when your little "gift" comes back again after popping that baby out. Holy Maxi Pad, Batman. It is no joke how bad the first period after birth is. Sheesh. I mean, you have no choice but to wear the industrial sized hot dog bun for a pad. And you soak it right up charlie! Unbelievable! The bleeding was bad, but the cramps seemed to be not so bad. Maybe it's because once you've experienced contractions, menstrual cramps seem like butterfly kisses. This may not be worthy of a post... but I had to put it out there as fair warning for those of you considering having a baby just to get rid of periods for awhile...

I am TOTALLY with you on that one! I hate to disappoint, but it hasn't gotten much better yet and I've had it for 4 or 5 months now- still really heavy. I've had an accident every month-even when I double up on the protection. TMI- I know, but since you started it.....
Only solution is to get pregnant again!!!

Glad to see you're still alive and kicking...was getting worried about you! Sorry Mother Nature's been such a bitch to you...you could just get on the pill and take it continuously...Or are you going for numero dos? Good luck with MN regardless...
Take care, Chica!
Mine have been horrendous for five years now after two kids and I am severly anemic as a result. The iron pills arent working and it is a real problem!
and the softball size blood clots that look like grape jelly.
Whoa...TMI, Ms. Anonymous.
Anyway...Happy Birthday, Christine! Hope Mother Nature has slacked up a bit on you so you can enjoy your day. :)
